Magnesium Bisglycinate

Fully-Reacted Chelated Mineral

Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly absorbable and bioavailable form of magnesium, making it an ideal ingredient for supplements. 1, ‡

Magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium disglycinate are the same mineral. Magnesium bisglycinate is the scientific or chemical name of this form of magnesium. ‡

Cypress Ingredients magnesium bisglycinate is a fully chelated mineral, making it more easily absorbed by the body. Fully reacted, chelated minerals do not become disassociated in the stomach’s acidic environment. They remain covalently bonded and can be properly absorbed and used by the body. ‡

Fully reacted mineral ingredients, including our magnesium bisglycinate are up to four times more bioavailable, with less inhibition by other minerals, and have fewer potential side effects. ‡

WHAT IS MAGNESIUM?

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzyme systems in the human body, including regulating blood sugar levels and blood pressure, muscle and nerve function management, and building protein, bone, and DNA. 2, 3

An estimated 50% of Americans consume less than the recommended daily amount of magnesium, with some populations consuming far less than this. A magnesium deficiency may contribute to a range of conditions including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular challenges, inflammatory reactions, and osteoporosis. Studies have also shown an association between magnesium deficiencies and chronic conditions and the lowering of disease potential with additional magnesium supplementation. 4

People with the following health conditions may not meet recommended magnesium levels: 3

  • Ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and other gastrointestinal conditions
  • Seniors
  • Long-term alcoholism
  • Type 2 diabetes

    • WHAT IS MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE?

    Magnesium bisglycinate is created by binding magnesium with two glycine molecules. This increases the solubility of this essential mineral, making it easily absorbed by the small intestine. 1 ‡

    Magnesium supplementation may have a laxative impact for some people. Because magnesium bisglycinate is bound to glycine, a smaller amount of water attaches to the molecule thereby reducing the laxative properties of this mineral ingredient. ‡

    Magnesium Bisglycinate Research Data‡

    Magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium are widely recognized for their positive health outcomes: ‡
      • A study of 2,038 men and women between the ages of 70 – 79 found that magnesium supplementation may support higher bone mineral density in some populations. 5
      • A trial involving 210 elderly people with type 2 diabetes and magnesium supplementation was shown to have a positive impact on fat metabolism, mood, and body mass. 6
      • Research into the potential impacts of magnesium supplementation for exercise performance show improvements for both anaerobic and aerobic exercise. 7
      • A study of 4,637 Americans aged 18 – 30 years indicates a potential relationship between magnesium intake and reduced likelihood of metabolic syndrome. 8

      • The National Institute of Health says the following about the importance of magnesium: 2

        “Magnesium is required for energy production, oxidative phosphorylation, and glycolysis. It contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and the antioxidant glutathione.

         

        Magnesium also plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.”
